Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While ford has a safety recall listed on your web page (nhtsa 92v-117) we were never notified of the problem or the required fix. our car developed a severe fuel leak which we had to have repaired at our expense. i will be contacting ford about this matter but thought you need to know that the dates on the safety recall cover the period of 6/1/91 to 6/30/91 for the mercury tracer lts. our car was manufactured prior to this yet exhibits the same failure. my fear is that ford's recall is not wide spread enough and other tracer owners may be injured due to this defective fuel pump assembly.
